Thanks to Kristen Fowler for sharing the following:

Due to ongoing technical issues with Skype, starting Monday, July 20, 2020, Jefferson Circuit Court Division 2 will use its “motion hour” conference number for all hearings except in-custody matters. In-custody matters, whether in LMDC or at a DOC institution, continue to be scheduled via Skype for Business. Until further notice, please dial the following number and conference ID to participate in motion hour and regular docket hearings:

1-774-220-4000

Conference ID: 595-4062.

*Based on feedback from lawyers practicing in this division, it is my hope to transition to Zoom as soon as possible.  The conference number is a temporary solution until the Zoom account is set up for the division.
